Musicals by Michael Hunsaker

Measure for Measure

A post-apocalyptic take on William Shakespeare's Measure for Measure.  Piting religion against government, this story follows Isabella, a novice nun, who struggles to free her brother from incarceration after he is harshly sentenced to death by the hypocritical Judge Angelo.

Out of Frame

Out of Frame follows a man, Arthur, as he struggles to finish his masterpiece, a portrait of a beautiful woman who he thinks is his wife.  When his wife enters the studio he is painting the portrait in he realizes there is more to the story than even he is aware of.

Quartet

This was the first musical I wrote when I was in college.  It deals with four people in four different cities and how their lives interact without ever meeting.  A concept musical that explores a contemporary music theatre score.

Surface

A one-man musical that finds a man at the end of a relationship, and how he has to discover what makes him human as he struggles to regain himself and his place in society.
